Recently, Indonesia's leader Prabowo Subianto believed he was a confidential discussion with US President Donald Trump during Middle East peace talks in Egypt.

Instead, a hot-mic incident captured Prabowo requesting Trump to arrange a meeting with his son Don Jr, who serve as executives at the Trump organization.

This was just one in a series of gaffes made by international figures when they assume they're off the record.

Below are several additional noteworthy errors:

Transplant Procedures and Immortality

During a defense ceremony in Beijing this September, China's leader Xi Jinping and Russia's head Vladimir Putin were overheard talking about organ transplants as a method for prolonging life.

"Vital organs can be repeatedly transplanted. The more you extend your life, the younger you become, and you can even achieve immortality," the Russian translator was recorded stating.

Xi, who was not visible, answered in Chinese: "Experts forecast that in the current era people may live to 150 years old."

'Sea Rising at Your Door'

Former Australian immigration minister Peter Dutton faced criticism in 2015 when he made light about the situation of residents in the Pacific facing rising sea levels.

Dutton was speaking to then-prime minister Tony Abbott, who had just returned from climate change talks with Pacific Island leaders in Port Moresby.

Observing how a meeting about refugees was running on "Cape York time", Abbott replied: "There was a similar situation up in Port Moresby."

Dutton commented: "Time doesn't mean anything when you're about to have water lapping at your door."

These remarks provoked anger from Pacific Islands and climate activists, while the opposition Labor party demanded Dutton to issue an apology.

'Prejudiced Voter'

As Labour prime minister Gordon Brown was campaigning in 2010, he encountered a constituent who questioned him on migration and the economy.

Still wired up to a broadcast microphone when he entered the car, Brown was heard saying: "That went terribly – they should not have placed me with that woman. Whose idea was that? Ridiculous."

Asked what she had said, he replied: "Everything, she was just a prejudiced person."

The scandal dominated headlines for weeks and Brown went on to lose the political race.

'I Can't Stand Netanyahu. He's a Liar.'

Former US president Barack Obama was in discussion at the G20 summit in Cannes in 2011 with France's leader Nicolas Sarkozy when their remarks about Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu were captured by a active recording device.

Sarkozy said: "I cannot bear Netanyahu. He's a liar."

According to a account from a French interpreter quoted by Reuters, Obama responded: "You've had enough but I must work with him frequently than you."

'Total ***hole'

A classic hot-mic moment from former White House hopeful George W. Bush happened as he made a negative comment about a journalist from The New York Times.

The Republican presidential nominee was unaware that a microphone was live when he turned to Dick Cheney at a political event and said, "That's Adam Clymer, complete jerk from the New York Times."

Cheney answered: "Absolutely, that's true, definitely."
